All looks good . Once in tire will not snap open . On my spare I lock with tie wire as you show . Was afraid some one at car show would mess with . I had one violently open when bouncing to seat new tire . It blew tube when it can out .

Give a call and talk to . Unless your spokes are damage , shrinkage can be handled in different ways . You would be surprise what replacing the hickory's natural oil does for swelling back . Maybe even epoxies could come into filling space . He'll probably want to lay eyes on .  I  am not sure that the hub to spoke contact is that tight to start with . The spokes lock on the sides with the pie shape angle and to the outer ring shoulder .

Do searches on " Extra Wide  and/or Jam Hex Nuts . The over sizing of nut was common as harden to grade was more expensive . DB had some of there own hardware made and marked to get quality they wanted .

Looks good ,Chet .  You may want to put hub back in and soak/ wipe  with RAW linseed oil to swell back .

Where they cut to match diameter of inside of brake drums . Most do not have tool to do and can be sanded  also . Arching gives more surface area contact to drums and would prevent vibration .

Yes , how it is tighten down can twist back plate . You may be able to bend back to round shape in place . First check outer diameter for ovaling .

Do not think you can turn those drums if not cast iron . The steels flex . Can be mis- shapen by prior turning or hard braking . look into rounding with re-torquing to wood spokes more evenly .
